Why does everyone need to try and take shortcuts?
The problem is that most of the food we eat today was not available until relatively recently, our bodies do not know how to deal with such processed foods and it causes BAD side effects. Just drop the white flour, soda's and sugar rich and processed foods and start eating simpler things such as apples, chicken breasts, veggies. It's that easy.
No white bread, no sugary drinks and coffees, no pie, no cake just stop eating it. You can have those things on a cheat day once or twice a month but you'll pay for it the next couple of days as it removes itself from your body.

You ate crap (and I did too) to get fat, stop eating crap to get back to a normal weight range. Get up, exercise - if you watch TV, do some ab exercises etc don't just lay for hours on end in front of the boob tube. Go outside! Play some games, etc, etc.
